The Tennessee General Assembly is moving closer toward reducing the number of newspaper notices lenders are required to run before foreclosing on a home.

State Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, and State Rep. Jimmy Matlock, R-Lenoir, filed companion bills that originally sought to reduce the required number of newspaper notices from three to one. Along with that reduction would come less of a description of the property.

A bill making its way through the Tennessee Legislature would give homeowners less advance warning before their homes are sold at a foreclosure auction.

State Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, and state Rep. Jimmy Matlock, R-Lenoir, have filed companion bills that would allow lenders to publish only one newspaper notice – instead of the current three – announcing that a mortgage is in default and a home is headed to the auction block.

The latest snapshot of Shelby County’s tax revenues looks about the same as it has for months.

The local housing market – which generates property tax revenue, the lifeblood of Memphis and Shelby County governments – has turned anemic. Consumer spending keeps on slowing in the face of a recession that prompted Congress this month to pass a nearly $800 billion stimulus package that amounts to an economic shock treatment.

The most revealing metric for gauging the extent of the foreclosure problem in Shelby County over the course of 2008 isn’t a number at all – though the numbers point to what arguably is a disturbing trend.

Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton already has promised no tax increase will be forthcoming next year, a pledge he made to Memphis City Council members during a mayor-council retreat last month at the University of Memphis.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Nationwide sales of existing homes fell more than expected last month, as economic fears made buyers leery even though prices plunged to the lowest level in more than four years. The decline is expected to get worse because October's results reflect sales contracts signed before Wall Street's nosedive.

2005 wasn't a good year for Linda Carter's small store in Hernando, Miss.
